Commercial Description:
Birra biennale, proposta per la prima volta in occasione di Cheese 2003, manifestazione dedicata ai formaggi, organizzata da Slow Food a Bra. Versione più alcolica della nota Super, si tratta in realtà di una birra piuttosto diversa. Si presenta di un bel colore ambrato, appena velato con riflessi ramati con una schiuma sufficientemente persistente. Abbinamento ideale è, ovviamente, con i formaggi di medio/alta stagionatura.

Yellowish head, medium, over pale-amber beer. Alcohol, fusels, old brandy, and cheesy hops (with the accent on hops, not cheese). Bit of syrup (maple?). Toasted alcoholic grain cookies (indeed perfect for drinking with cheese). Alcohol push in terribly, fusels à gogo. Rich liqueur. Fiery alcoholic MF, warming. A very impressive brew. Had I to rate it for cheese-side drink, it would probably head for 5/5.

Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours lightly muddy orange-amber with a nice, staying, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is lightly tart, some brett-character, oranges, light coriander and yeast. Great, creamy mouthfeel with low carbonation. Flavour is wonderfully malty, rye, some oranges with light tartness. Some sharpish pine hops finish it off nicely.

Off white foamy full lasting head. Cloudy orange colour. Aroma is malty with fruity (peach) and light spicy and sour notes. Flavour is fruity too with apricots tones, ending in a smooth fruity finish. Medium bodied.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a cloudy pale amber with an off-white head. Sweet’n’tart aroma of caramel and overripe fruit. Medium body, fruit - some overripe - caramel and some light oxidization. Tartish, fruity finish while the alcohol is pretty well hidden. 301109

Cloudy deep golden pour. Rather lacy, lasting off-white head. Surpringly subtle nose, strongly yeasty, bready and tart, hinting at a Sangiovese barrel. Tea-like, citrusy, lemony palate with a certain chalkiness in the finish. Light-medium bodied whereas I expected beefier malts. Active carbonation. Really unique beer, certainly unclean. Listed here as a barley wine, but the yeastiness feels Belgian with its inherent mushroomy uncleanliness. A weird concept and an appealing name. I was thrilled to find this bottle in Italy when there were absolutely no ratings for it, but the experience did not quite live up to the hype I had created by myself, for myself – don’t try that at home.
